The Magic Tree

Oh come won’t you accompany me,

On a stroll through the park,

Tonight to visit the magic tree,

And our tragic happiness we hold in our hearts,

We’ll leave tonight when all is silent,

The night will be our disguise,

As we escape from all the shit,

That we face in our everyday lives.

Deep into the park we stride,

Further from our dismal homes,

To reach the spot as old as time,

And a world of our own.

So come let’s visit the magic tree,

To a place where we belong,

As our hearts are filled with melancholy glee,

A place where we can do no wrong.

They say we are vicious,

Carved only from stone,

Because our emotions,

They refuse to condone.

They mock our dreams,

Tell us were better off dead,

And they can’t hear the screams,

That echo through our heads.

The magic tree comforts us,

It fills our minds with peace,

A place where we can learn to trust,

And love this misery so sweet.

Come follow us to freedom,

From this sick reality,

To our Garden of Eden,

At the foot of the magic tree.

Here we are with others,

Just like you and I,

Forced to live and suffer,

With those feelings they must hide.

In this dark and dismal place,

The tree will give us hope,

A chance to finally escape,

All we need is those two ropes,

Tie them onto the branch

Then we’ll join the magic tree,

And those poor souls who never had a chance,

Just like you and me.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
